English Standard Version
14 (A)Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15 They (B)wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me (C)a fortress

for you, O God, (F)are my fortress,
(G)the God who shows me steadfast love.
